Six Soccer Workouts Inspired By The Pros Themselves

This year’s Fifa Women’s World Cup was out of this world. Being in the stadium, taking in the cheers of 53,314 attendees, and literally crying when my girl Carli Lloyd hit her hat trick were all moments to remember. However, there was more to it, like being a Nike Women’s MVP Influencer and doing three workouts over the course of two days. What that means is I’m a health and fitness enthusiast—clearly—and as an Influencer, you’re always pushing yourself to go the extra mile.

Led by the amazing master trainers Eva Redpath and Em Hutchins, all of us seven Influencers, along with other women attending the game, did a soccer-inspired workout. Now, since I’ve always wanted to play football as a child—I was stuck playing tennis for about ten years—I was super stoked. To honor the amazing women of the USWNT, here are four of my favorite players along with some exercises to get you looking and feeling your best!

Lay down on your back on the floor/mat. Either bring your hands behind your head, keep them alongside your body, or cross them in front of your chest. On an inhale, pike your legs up at the same time to a 90 degree angle. On the exhale, lower them back down.

Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your hands placed behind you, fingers pointing forward. On the inhale, use your arms to push your weight back and straighten your legs two inches off the ground. On the exhale, bring everything back to starting position.

For this, you’ll need a partner. While laying down on the floor, grab hold of your partners’ ankles (they should be standing with their feet next to either side of your head). While you inhale, raise your legs ups. Exhale and have your partner throw your legs back down to the ground.

The big difference is that when you have Hashimoto’s, you can suffer from both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, and your immune system attacks your thyroid gland. The thyroid gland

It’s officially February and I’m now dying to go on a spontaneous vacation. Last night, my cousin asked me if I would join her on a trip to Greece, and I thought, why not? I have never been to Greece, but I’ve been wanting to visit for years. When you’re young, and have less responsibilities

This cute, Instagrammable drink is not only a post-workout smoothie, but it can also cure a hangover. Après is a plant protein-based drink, created by Darby Jackson and Sonny McCracken. I tried it after a Shadowbox boxing class I took that they were hosting and was literally hooked and begging them to send me a

The world is colliding in on me. The floor is slanting and caving in. My heart is going to jump out of my chest. I close my eyes. A…B…C…D inhale E…F…G…H exhale Bismillah hir rahman nir rahim. Come back to reality, baby girl. You’re going to be okay. You’re lovely and strong. I open my
